What's wrong with generation Z?

I quietly nodded as I didn't want to stretch the conversation.

My mother had told me that she was running a high fever the day before. So she wanted me to go and see her.

Appreciating any music, be it American, Korean, British, Japanese, Tanzanian is totally fine. There's no issue in it. But disrespecting any other person's choice is unacceptable.

I like KK, someone might like Arijit Singh. Cool! Everybody has a different music taste.

Me : Obviously, what's bad in it.

I was a little nervous but excited to meet her.

Do you agree with the characterization of Trump's trial as a "modern day Salem witch trial"? Why or why not?

She : Didi, I love k-pop, especially BTS. They are my life. I don't know why people hate them. They are so sweet types. They are the best. You like them too?

Now, I was a little irritated. Everybody has a “preference”. You can't impose your liking on anyone. And why degrading your own music.

Is it a gen-z problem? I don't know. But I have seen many people fighting for their “idols” ( not just k-pop idols but in general ). And nowadays people get easily offended.

She : Ohh didi, you are a kid. Don't you know k-pop is famous worldwide. Like listen, they are amazing. No one can beat them. Hindi songs are nothing in front of them.

Anyways, yesterday I met her.

I was talking to her. I don't know how this came up -

What's the hardest part about marriage that no one ever talks about?

Not that someone will say I like Tony Kakkar’s music and I will keep quiet ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

You don't even know them personally, you haven't met them , but you are ready to fight and argue over them. How dumb is that! And she has the audacity to shame me just because I don't listen to k-pop.

Me : I am not a big fan of k-pop or BTS. ( Note my lord - I didn't use any word like hate and I answered her politely )

What would you change in Rings of Power?

She : What!! You don't like BTS. Come on didi. I didn't expect this from you. Aap bhi Arijit Singh ke gaane sunte ho.

Now, obsession over something or someone ( upto a healthy level ) is common during teenage and I understand it. Two years back, I was obsessed with Slayy Point ( a YouTube channel ). I used to watch their videos all day. I admired them a lot and I wanted to meet them because I found them relatable. Though, I still watch their videos, but the obsession is gone.

There is a girl in my neighbourhood. She is 2 years younger than me. I know her from past 5 years. If I describe my relationship with her, it's something between hello hi and close one. Though, earlier, we were very close to eachother. But my interaction with her has lessened during the recent years.
